Cannes Lions has confirmed this year’s line-up of jury presidents, following news that the International Festival of Creativity will take place at an in-person event in June.

Richard Brim, chief creative officer at Adam & Eve/DDB, is among the names gracing the panel this year, which includes the presidents originally appointed for last year's cancelled awards.

Brim, who is president of the Film Lions jury, ranked second in ��������pk10’s top creatives of 2020 (behind David Kolbusz, chief creative officer of Droga5 London) having topped the list in 2019.

Since Brim joined A&E/DDB in 2013, it has has won seven Grands Prix at Cannes Lions, as well as being named Agency of the Year in 2014 and 2018.

Vicki Maguire, chief creative officer of Havas UK, will be president of the Brand Experience & Activation Lions jury.

Another of ��������pk10’s top creatives, Maguire was among 30 names celebrated in IPA’s inaugural iList – which showcases industry members striving to champion diversity and inclusion within adland.

This year’s line-up is 57% female, marking the highest representation of female leaders in the Festival’s history.

Bozoma Saint John, global chief marketing officer of Netflix, has been appointed president of the Glass Lions jury.

Saint John was appointed as chief marketing officer at Netflix in July last year, after holding previous roles at PepsiCo’s, Apple Music and Uber.

“I’ve seen it said that ‘the future is female’ but the reality is that women have made incredible contributions in the past, are making their impact known in the present and will absolutely change the future,” Saint John said. “Therefore, we need to recognise the brands and advertisers who are driving positive progress and change in the world by reflecting an equal world.”

Saint John was named in this year’s ��������pk10 Power 100, where she was described as “probably the world’s most rockstar marketer”.

Cannes Lions is set to take place from 21-25 June. An online poll by ��������pk10 found that only one-fifth of readers who ordinarily attend Cannes Lions definitely plan to go if it takes place this year.

“We know that after the postponement of last year’s awards, our jury presidents are eager to get going,” Philip Thomas, chairman of Lions, said.

“They will be leading juries in a unique year, awarding Lions for both 2020 and 2021 – no small job but one that will provide a crucial reflection and insight into the industry’s recent unprecedented journey.

“Happily, they’re an extremely talented bunch of individuals and more than qualified to take on the job of setting the world’s new creative benchmark.”
